Jefferson To Offer BS In Nursing In Montgomery County
Jefferson will continue its expansion into Montgomery County.
Jefferson Health will expand its bachelor of science in nursing program to Willow Grove and shut down its diploma program at Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing, according to a report.
The changes will reportedly go into effect in the fall of 2017, after the current batch of students graduate.
Students will be able to apply to Jefferson School of Nursing and then select either the Center City campus or the Abington-Dixon campus, Philly.com reports.
